Career Tips To Become A Full-Stack Developer

Let’s briefly go through some of the career tips that you can take notice when you’re applying for your next web programmer or full stack developer role.

1. Don’t put Microsoft office as your skillset.

This is a programming role, it’s not an office admin role. Avoid making such a mistake, only insert information that is relevant which helps you to stand out among the rest of the candidates.

2. When designing your resume, give a
rating for your skills, quantify each skill you possess.

For example, your PHP at five-stars may be as good as another humble guy with three stars, so giving a rating of your skills do really help people to understand how good you are at it. It’s becoming a trend to quantify things, like a business, we love numbers.

3. Showcase your projects or portfolio that you’ve done and the challenges that you faced in the past.

A lot of people only talk about good things
in their portfolios and their resume, so you talk about the challenges and how
you overcome the challenges. Constantly look for opportunities to build some
portfolio, or through side hustles. If you’re a fresh graduate, then your FYP
might give you a little help but always, and always highlight how you can help
solve problems for the business.

In overall, the hiring process of a web
developer is definitely not that difficult as we have thought of. However,
you’ll have to showcase your projects, able to show how you overcome challenges
and of course, they’ll look into culture fit as well, whether you fit the job
in terms of skills and attitude.
